From what I've seen of "True Life," it is definitely more true to life and kinder to its subjects than most of MTV's other reality shows are. Of course, that seems to depend on the particular episode's theme -- the two girls in "Plastic Surgery" weren't portrayed a great light, but all the people in "I'm a Little Person" seemed to be shown in a relatively non-biased/even positive way. I don't think MTV would try to put a negative spin on a show about adoption, so I think you'd be okay. If I were you I'd at least look into it further -- it could be a really great experience for you!
